Alclad II which ones...

Hi everybody, I'm looking into buying some Alclad paints, they are very often praised and I want to try them out.

I wonder which paints I should take to car modeling ?

Obviously the Chrome is a must. Maybe the Aluminum is used a lot for cars...
But since I'm no car mecanic I don't know what material is used for engine/transmssion parts on a real car.

Any suggestions then on what colors to take ? I'm making a Porsche Carrera GT, later I'll make a Ferrari FXX and a bit later I plan a Citroën 2CV, Ferrari F430 scuderia etc... just to give you an idea of what I do and what I need.

Alclad need primer I saw, is their primer any good compared to let's say Gunze Mr Surfacer 1000 ?

Do their paint/primer need to be thinned ? What should I thin them with ?

Do they need a clear ? And lastly can I safely paint acrylics over them ? (I guess so since they are lacquers, right ?)

Thanks a lot !!
